Has the minister received advice on the circumstances of any released immigration detainees in South Australia who have refused to wear an electronic tracker?

The federal government has refused to provide information about this case, including the individual's suspected whereabouts, criminal history and physical description.</text>

But, no, there is no advice for those individuals who are either here or seeking to travel to South Australia.</text>
